If I were you I would plan on saving like $400 to $500 bucks, and it depends on what kinda games your into. Plus you have to buy the chargeable battery, get live(a must have), and another controller if you have friends ya know.

My charger cost me about 20 bucks or so. So 320 + 2(60) = 440.

As for suggestions for the other game...

If you want a great single player story/atmosphere, go with Bioshock.

For some solid third person action (w/ co-op) go with Gears of War.

If first person is what you're looking for, go with COD 4 (realistic, modern) or Halo 3 (do i really need to explain?)

If you want a third person twitched based action game, consider Devil May Cry 4 or Ninja Gaiden. I'd recommend DMC 4 over NG, but that's just me.

As for rpgs... Eternal Sonata and Lost Oddyssey are good if you're looking for something a little traditional. On the other hand, if a western rpg is what you want, try Mass Effect or Oblivion.

My favorite game out of all those would probably be Bioshock. It wasn't perfect by any stretch. A lot of things about it pissed me off, actually. But it made up for it with a great story, fascinating characters, and immersive atmosphere.

299 for the system + 120 for two games + 20 for controller charger + 40 a second wired controller or 50 for a wireless + 100 if you want wifi + 50 for a year of x box live. If my calculations are right thats 629 bucks before taxes, if you dont want wifi it will be 529.

I think you will have to save about 500 to 600 dolars... but if you buy a cheaper game with madden.

If you want a good though cheap game I recommend GRAW 2 or Dead Rising (both 30 dolars)
